The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It Page #3

please put it in the refrigerator, okay?

Okay.

All right, now, we're gonna be out late,

but I want Max in bed by 9:00.

Please, Cassie, try to get along.

I'll try.

And no scary stories for Max.

Do you understand?

Whatever.

Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad.

Have a great time!

Excellent. This will be even better.

Is this gonna take a long time?

John Carlucci's having a party.

Forget John Carlucci.

Put that stupid shocker-pen thing away.

It's retarded.

Why don't we just forget this?

Well, why don't we forget me

writing your term paper?

You promised.

Then get with the program,

and let me do the thinking.

I can think. I'm not stupid.

Doesn't matter.

You're cute. Let's go.

You're supposed to be in bed.

Give me that.

Read me that story.

No, it's too scary.

I like scary stuff.

You do not.

On Halloween, I do. Honest.

Get in bed, and I'll read you

The Berenstain Bears.

I hate those stupid bears.

I want this book.

Forget it.

Hey!

What?

What did you do?

Nothing.

What did you do?

It was an accident!

You turned this off?

You did it on purpose.

It was an accident!

Do you know what you did? You made me

lose everything I wrote tonight!

Hours of work!

I'll never remember exactly what I wrote!

What are you gonna do?

You wanted me to read you this book, right?

You're not mad anymore?

Accidents happen.

"The Evil Thing.

"The Evil Thing

is a gruesome beast.

"On living flesh,

it loves to feast.

"It's a two-headed thing

whom you don't wish to greet.

"One head sucks your blood.

One head chews your meat.

"It carries its babies

in slimy eggs on its back.

"The babies are hungry,

when they hatch, for a snack,

"so the Evil Thing traps

some poor victim alive

"for the babies to eat

when their birthdays arrive.

"But don't worry. Don't cry.

Please don't have a fit.

"The Evil Thing is not real

unless you think about it.

"Remember, don't think about it. "

Good night.

Don't think about it.

Don't think about it. Don't think about it.

I thought about it! I thought about it!

Cassie, I thought about it!

I thought about it! I couldn't help it!

Now it's alive!

The Evil Thing is alive!

Uh-oh.

You shouldn't have done that.

Now it's gonna get you.

I'm just kidding you, Max.

It's not gonna get you.

Yes, it is!

No, it's not. Stop crying.

It's gonna trap me

and feed me to its babies!

It's not.

It's gonna put me in a sac!

No, it's not.

It's just a made-up story.

The Evil Thing isn't real.

Honest. I just wanted to scare you.

Really?

I swear.

Here's your pizza.

All right, let... Oh, yeah.

Here you go.

Thank you.

All right, you have a good night. Yeah.

Happy, happy Halloween! Yeah.

Thanks for the candy corn.

Great tip.

Where to next?

Hey, guy, great costume, yeah.

You scared me.

Could you get off the car?

Thank you, yeah.

Have a good Halloween.

That was a good costume.

Here, take the pizzas.

Not again.

Cassie!

Don't go, Cassie! Don't go!

It's just a blown fuse.

It's the Thing,

the Evil Thing!

Quiet.

Cassie, it's the Evil Thing! Let's go, Cassie!

Cassie, let's go! It's gonna get us!

Cassie, let's go! Come on!

Let's get back in the house!

Cassie, let's go! Come on!

What...

"Don't worry. Don't cry.

"Please, don't have a fit.

"The Evil Thing isn't real

unless you think about it. "

Everyone at school

is gonna want to see this video.

Don't you think so, Sean?

I guess.

Are you okay, buddy?

But, wait, you mean it's all fake?

The Evil Thing.

What about the growls?

That's cool.

And now on video,

Cassie Keller does the dance of fear.

It's an instant classic.

You were so scared.

Give me that tape. Right now!

Not likely.

Next time, loser,

remember who you're messing with.

I would have been scared, too.

Cassie's a chicken! Cassie's a...

Get in the house!

I can't believe

how scared you were out there.

You were like the world's

biggest chicken ever.

Oh, my gosh, you are so annoying!

Yeah, whatever,

you almost wet your pants, you big baby!

You were even worse than that.

You're such a big baby.

Stop eating that, and go to bed!

Huh!

And don't forget to brush your teeth.

Whatever!

Cassie, I know it's you.

Cassie, quit or I'm telling Mom and Dad!

Quit what? Go to sleep, you big baby.

Cassie!

Knock it off!

Throw a fit. Go ahead.

See if I care. Little brat!

I love this.

Okay, I think you've watched it enough.

I'm going to John Carlucci's party.

It gets better every time.

Let me see.

What are you doing?

I don't like it, okay?

It's too mean.

You better give that back to me!

I don't think so.

If you don't put that tape

in my hand right this instant,

I will not write your term paper,

and you will fail!

I don't care.

Your dad's gonna kill you!

Sean! You loser!

Well, who's supposed

to carry this stuff, huh?

Sean? Is that you?

Sean, quit fooling around!

Sean, I mean it. Cut it out.

Sean, stop it right now.

Sean, stop!

Such a bad actress.

Help me! Help me! Help!

Somebody help!

Somebody help me! Help! Somebody help!

Open up! It's me, Sean! It's an emergency!

Open up! It's me, Sean!

Back for an encore?

It's got your brother and Priscilla!

Look, okay, you got me.

You scared me. You have it on tape.

Why don't you call it a night?

Wait, wait, no. No, wait!

No, this is no joke, okay?

That Evil Thing, it's real, the whole deal!

It's got your brother!

Well, it can't be

because this is my brother right here.

I killed him,

and we'll be eating him for dinner later.

No, I'm not kidding, okay?

It's got Priscilla, too!

Well, I guess it's not totally evil.

Gosh! I'm telling the truth.

It's out in the woods!

Why don't you believe me?

Okay, where do you think your brother is?

Sleeping.

No. No. Go take a look!

I'm being punk'd, right?

Where's his room? Up here?

Hey, you can't...

Where do you think you're going?

What are you doing? What...

See?

Max!

Is he in on this?

It must have dragged him

out through here.

Ugh!

You are telling the truth,

aren't you?

Your brother is gonna be toast!

I ignored the warning.

I read the book out loud.

I just wanted to scare him.

Well, good job.

We've got to call the cops.

On Halloween? They'll never believe us,

and by the time we can convince them,

it'll be too late.

We have to do something now.

We have to kill that thing.

What?

What is that? Let me out!

Cassie! Cassie!

Hello? Is anybody else in here?

Help! Somebody help me! Help!

Priscilla's shoe.

It was right here.

It had your brother in its...

I don't know what you call it.

The... Slimy and...

Are you sure it was Max?

Pretty sure. He was whimpering.

A whiny, irritating whimper?

Yeah.

That's Max.

Look.

Oh!

Come on, I think it went this way.

A walking stick? Are you sure your dad

doesn't have a shotgun or something?

Max? Where are you?

What do you think?

I think it could use a tissue.

You're a weird girl.

I know.

I'm sure the Priscillas

of the world are more your type.

I don't know. She's Priscilla,

but, dang, I don't think she deserves to die.
